When Hon. John 8. Barbour ran for Con.

the wife of well-known Culpeper County
man, concluded that she would do little
electioneering for him. She went about it
very quietly and said nothing until she was
fully ready; then she went to her husband.

antly and ioyfully. ssNo," said her hus

some Curious Points in Speculative Town
Building In the Southern States.
[Atlanta Cor. Washington Post.l
Hugh T. Inman, of this city, is wearing .
SIC, 600 suit of clothes. The suit only cost him
$500. but it now represents cost OF $l6s-
OOO The suit is neat salt-and-pepper
Scotch cashmere, well mixed, three-but-
toned coat and loose trousers. Mr.. 1nman
is snug millionaire, but he don't usually
wear SIG 600 clothes Here is how he came
to get this suit:
About two years ago he put s., 500 into
scheme for building railroad to Sheffield,
a projected town in North Alabama. In
twelve months he sold his interest for
suit of clothes. The interest is now worth
$4,000 and grows more valuable as the
clothes wear out, which suggests some
curious points in speculative town-building
in Alabama.
In 1888 w. s. and E. G. Gordon, brothers
of Governor Gordon, Of this State, found
themselves on bluff. .overloo ooking the Ten
nessee river, below the Muscle shoals and
near Tuscumbda. They determined to found
town on that bluff In three months they
had bought up the adjacent lands, organ
ICED stock company with s1OO, 600 capital,
tackled the name of Shelf Id to the bluff
and began to build watar-works. The
scheme was advertised largely. The beauty
of the site commended it, outlying coal and
iron fields supported it, and in about eight
months the first sale of Sheffield city lots
was held.
That sale has never been equaled in
sacred or profane history. The three or
four houses on the site of the projected
town were crammed with buyers. Two or
three steamboats, that had found their way
up the Tennessee river swarmed with
eager purchasers. The woods were full OF
them when the sale began one morning,
and lasted three days. At the end of that
time s28S, 900 had been realized for the lots
nearly three times the entire capital.
Less than fifteen acres were exhausted. A
triangular lot 6o by 100, sold for $780,
Much of the land averaged $4,000 an acre,
with but three houses in sight. Conserva-
tive men, elderly men, shrewd business
men, would sit all day on the butt OF
water barrel in an open field, with not
fence in sight, and pay S1On front foot for
corn rows, which last years corn stalks
still standing in them. At the end of the
third day the sale was stopped. In the
meantime the stock which had cost twenty
cents was selling for $175.

In 1845. as John Minto had to go up the
Columbia river, he took passage with an
Indian chief who had something of ret
nue. There was sub-chief who looked
after things of minor importance, and
dusky maiden, to whom old Pu-Pu-Mox-
Mox, who was then great chief, and was
destined later to fall IN battle in command
of the combined forces Of the inland em-
pire, showed very devoted attention. There
were also several slaves, who drove the
canoes with their paddles for motive pow
er. Some where on the grand river, when
among the ranges that tower above
Cape Horn, Mimic noticed that
the Indians acted very singularly
and rather suspiciously. They stopped
the canoes and looked down in the water
intently. Then two slaves and suo-cme1
got into the smaller canoe and started 70
cross the river. Suddenly Minte dropped
on it,'' and saw what the Indians saw. 1t
was one of those beautiful transparent days
when the air and water are clear as crystal.
The sun of autumn either had not risen so as
to reach the deep canyon with its rays, OF
had dropped behind the western heights.
Any way, these heights were reflected so
perfectly on the surface of the river that
the Indians had watched the mountain
sides as they padded along. The cause OF
their strange action was seeing bear on
high ridge across the river from them eat
ing berries. The two slaves took their
fuses and crossed the river to attack. They
climbed the blum, took aim, fired, missed,
and the bear ran away-he was not hurt
Ali this Minto saw on the river surface
without straining his eyes to the mount
AIMS summit.

recognizing that the humblest and poorest

NV love for him had its origin in his broad

of his father once, The two things which my
father desired most we're the glory OF God and
the good of man. So was it with him, as the
